Fantastic submission! The music and sound effects are especially great, making it very immersive!

A little short, but nice one! I won on my first attempt :)

sound effects and music are awesome, love the concept, also figuring it out as i went made for allot of suspense haha

I really like the aesthetic, and the drag sounds really good! It would be nice if the gameplay either started a little faster (there's a lot of corridor to drag yourself through before you start reaching enemies), or if there was some kind of checkpoint system. As it was, it was fun exploring and I reached the second arm, but I really don't want to redo the entire beginning segment again. Overall nicely done, the sprites look great!

☝️Everything Adam said.

Great mood and audio.

Friendly Feedback: Please make checkpoints lol I got to the leg and died :cry: I think the dash meter should be on robots back below his health.

I can imagine a "distraction" mechanic might be nice, an ability to throw something to bait/lure enemies away from you - or lure them into traps. Just a thought.

The feeling of helplessness is well conveyed. The presentation does well enough that I can overwrite the game jam pixel art with my imagination and fill it in with high resolution 3d renders.

Great job!

What an ambiance ! Really good idea, reminds me Terminator stuff :wink: gj :smiley:

interesting idea.

Why did I get all my legs and arms, but keep crawling? :slight_smile:

tardis2snej 2025-10-07 20:27

Great idea and atmosphere, keeps you at the end of your seat! Slow movement kind of adds to it, but also it's just sooo slow in the beginning, especially after you died and you already know what's there and you just have to crawn through the corridor. Also an enemy pushed me behind the wall once and I was crawling thinking can that be part of the game hahaha (would be fun if it was but I guess it wasn't and I reloaded it)

@skylone Didn't have time to add a second animation and character design.

Interesting idea! The atmosphere is wonderful!

Great vibe, I really liked that dash movement. Encountered the bug that the others have mentioned on my first playthrough as well, where the robot's attack pushed me inside the wall :laughing:

dankotay 2025-10-08 09:59

It's a really awesome game, the atmosphere is really overwhelming, but the only thing is that the robot somehow pushed me into the textures

pandalk 2025-10-08 12:33

very immersive, it has the same vibe as Endoparasitic!

mackelio 2025-10-08 12:34

nice entry! such a different interpretation of the theme and i really liked it! i liked that you even took time to make a custom character movement that really selt the idea of pulling yourself with one arm :D

cptdrusha 2025-10-08 12:41

Very impressive! The atmosphere is transferred very well through the clanging of machines and music. Personally, I didn't feel enough fear from the enemies. They are more intrusive than scary and dangerous. But anyway, I like it!!!

ludumdaredevil 2025-10-08 17:52

@pandalk I love that game! Definitely inspired us a little bit.

eugenik 2025-10-09 05:15

a bit too fast pace

noahro 2025-10-10 10:44

Very cool atmosphere! I managed to clip out-of-bounds once by having an enemy push me into the wall haha I like that when you crawl, the "clank" sounds are tied to the hands grabbing the floor, and when you get your second arm you make another clank noise! That's a really neat touch :) The explosion sound effect at the end startled me a bit, but I liked the explosion animations! I had fun playing :)

This was such a fun game, love the concept and execution:)

l6ria 2025-10-12 14:07

The music was perfectly chosen to set the mood. The gameplay was super fun.

nouchi 2025-10-21 00:37

Love the mood. And the idea is quite fun.;)

arkadi-voronchenko 2025-10-24 10:38

Atmosphere is awesome! It was really hard at start.
